Fed review blames staff inaction, not deregulation, for Silicon Valley Bank collapse

An independent review by Starling Advisory Group, released by the Federal Reserve, concludes that supervisors failed to act on known vulnerabilities at Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) prior to its 2023 collapse. While the report absolves the 2018 deregulation laws and social media rumors, it highlights a culture of risk aversion among Fed staff. The findings have intensified political tensions, with critics arguing the review is a pretext to remove Fed Governor Michael Barr, while the White House demands accountability for the oversight failure.

Fed report blames risk-averse culture for SVB oversight failure

An independent review by Starling Advisory Group found that Federal Reserve staff knew or should have known about Silicon Valley Bank’s vulnerabilities as early as March 2022 but failed to act due to a culture of risk aversion. Fed Vice Chair Michelle Bowman stated that supervisors feared being wrong, leading to inaction. The report dismisses social media as a trigger for the 2023 bank run, while a separate court case ruled that SVB’s aggressive investment strategy caused billions in losses, rejecting claims that regulatory criticism was based on hindsight.

Fed staff knew SVB was vulnerable but failed to act, report finds

A new review by Starling Advisory Group found that Federal Reserve supervisors knew or should have known about Silicon Valley Bank's vulnerabilities as early as March 2022 but failed to act due to a culture of risk aversion. Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman released the preliminary findings, stating that SVB's deposits were 94% uninsured and concentrated in venture capital-backed tech firms. The report does not name Fed Governor Michael Barr, who oversaw the bank during the 2023 collapse, but the White House has used the findings to criticize his performance. The release has intensified political tensions, with Democrats calling the review a partisan effort to justify deregulation, while some worry it could be used to push Barr off the Fed board.

"Fed Governor Bowman: Rate Hikes Unlikely, Potential for Future Cuts if Inflation Drops"

Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman, previously an advocate for tight monetary policy, indicated that interest rate hikes are likely over but she's not ready to start cutting yet. She noted progress against inflation and suggested that the policy rate should be held at the current level for some time. Bowman emphasized the need to remain cautious and flexible in considering future changes in policy, with a willingness to raise the federal funds rate if inflation data reverse. The Fed's next meeting is expected to maintain rates, with potential cuts beginning in March.
